    Default What's your Pre/During/Post Nutrition, Supp?

    I'd like to see what you guys take and eat for pre, during, post. A lot of my bodybuilder friends told me on top of a well-balanced nutrition plan they consumed an additional Protein shake pre-workout, during and post. and they said it actually helped them out with the additional BCAA, Gaba, Glutamine in their shakes.

    I can say supplement is a cost of luxury then again i rather spend the $ on real "supps"

    Thanks guys Happy new years!!!

    I eat a meal about an hour before, usually consisting of chicken breast, and have a shake post workout followed by a meal about 1 hour after workout. Whats the theory behind the during workout shake?

    personally for myself this is how I typically do it.


    Pre-workout:
    10 oz Chicken Breast
    2 Sweet Potatoes



    During:
    Water

    Post:
    Same as my Pre otherwise I'll change the protein source to Top Sirloin.

    No supps as if now. I don't think supplementation really makes sense honestly. Good way to waste your $$ then again if diet is spot on then no worries. No idea everyone preaches about during shakes but I see people who benefit from during shakes are those who need those simple carb sources due to pre-workout slin usage. Then again for naturals I doubt it. Water will suffice. Unless on a calorie restriction then an additional BCAA in your water bottle could be helpful but I doubt it'll really make a huge dramatic difference.

    My typical day looks like this: pre shake with 25g isolate and however many carbs I need from ground up oatmeal (20-60g); intra 20-30g carbs from dextrose and potato starch, 10-20g bcaas, 5-10g creatine mono, 2g beta-alanine; post is shake with 50g isolate, usually a banana. Works pretty well for me, my pre-wo carbs are now determined by how much slin I push lol. Everything else I've been doing for a while, and its been working well for me.

    45 mins preworkout: 50g whey, 35g karbolyn, 3000mg vitamin C
    Intra workout: 50g karbolyn, 3-4 scoops amino energy, 3-4 scoops scivation xtend, 1 scoop of white flood
    Post workout: 1 scoop amino energy, 2 scoops scivation xtend, 25g karbolyn
    20 min post workout: 1 scoop whey, 25g karbolyn
    60 min post workout: 1 scoop whey
    120 min post workout: 6oz chicken or ground beef with 6oz brown rice

    I try to eat a meal with a heavier protein source about a hr to hr half before I train like chicken, steak of ground turkey. I think you burn through fish and eggs too fast.

    about 30 min pre- 1 scoop waxy maize 40g, 5g creatine
    water during, if your drinking a shake during your probly not training hard enough I can barely keep water down when its a hard workout lol!
    post- 1 1/2 scoop whey isolate (dymatize iso 100 vanilla) 1 banana, 5g glutamine, 5g bcaa

    After I shower and get cleaned up Ill cook dinner for the night about a hr, hr half after my shake

    Keeping drinks down during a wo seems to be a learned thing. I used to not be able to drink bcaas without wanting to chuke, now I can hammer up to 50g dextrose, 20g bcaas, and creatine during. Just took time to get used to it.

    Are you sure you eat that much? 10 oz cooked or frozen? That is a gigantic amount of food that wouldn't even fit on 1 plate...

    Personally I just eat a meal of 40-50 g's of protein, 40-50 g's of carbs, and 5-10 grams of fat about 60 mins before the gym. Usually it's rice and chicken cooked in a bit of coconut oil. But I don't worry bout it in general...yesterday it was a carton of egg whites and 4 slices of whole wheat toast.

    Supplements is just 400 mg caffiene after I eat that meal.

    Post workout is either a carton of egg whites and a banana, sometimes I use half carton and then use a scoop of whey (25g) if I have any (don't buy whey very often). If I feel like blending it up sometimes I'll use only half a banana and make up the other carbs with oats.

    Then an hour after it's a meal usually 6 oz (cooked) chicken breast and 1 cup of white rice...
